Because it's a waste of my time.


Gotta understand, I may be a moderator, but I don't have to explain how I feel about something. So, I guess you could call me moderhater or a "****". Whatever else you can pull up to call us.


Oh, btw, when you report a post, those people are not scammers, it's just spam. Just for future reference.

 

So your not gonna answer if videos of street racing is gonna be banned from the A/V section? How does that help us decide on whats "safe" to post and what isnt?

oh yeah btw if your gonna change the title the rules for the section shouldve changed too!

 

Exactly. People can either deal with it or find alternatives. But there is an obvious reason the change took effect. Being how the place was purchased by a corporate entity it either has to do with money or liability.

 

Correct. Also by allowing vendors to participate in sale of tuning modified street cars using an aftermarket engine managment system is illegal on a Federal level. If you really want to get into cutting out illegal activity on here you might as well just shut the whole place down.

 

Even if the name change was suggested by the mod and not IB, the mods represent the company on this forum. Was IB consulted on the change? Do they even know changes were made from the norm? Is there contact information for getting a hold of IB on a level beyond this forum? Stepping over the chain of command so we can voice our disapproval to the company that pays and make the money off the site?

 

Changes to the sections of the forum do not need to be ran through IB. Only thing we would have to contact them about is the Classifieds/Vendors/Group Buys. Changning a section or taking out a section of the forum does not need their approval.

 

Right, because anyone who says, "Our company is Registered and legitimate With a workforce of over 150 Staffs and 70 R & D Research Engineers, we fast and secure delivery to your home via a courier such reliable (Dhl, FedEx, Ups and Tnt) in 48 hours that a tracking number will be issued in recognition of his sending confirmations." isn't a scammer, he's just a spammer. I'm sure if you email him, since he doesn't actually have a real website to order from, he could actually get you a PS3 for $270.

 

it might not need their approval but if it starts to have an effect on "their" bottom line im sure they would want to know why. So is there a way to contact them to voice our disapproval for the way their employees are handling the board?

 

Which route has the best chance of something positive being done? To resist or to do nothing? Go ahead and give up...

 

Ibtl

 

Lol. I like how my post was just clearly ignored.....
But in short This is dumb. Do you see youtube banning all the streetracing videos?


Dont be gay, every other car site/forum has some kind of kill section, why be that one lame one that doesn't? No body supports street racing, just say "this section is not strictly moderated." or something.
~TDR
/End of discussion.


Oh p.s. Why did the mods decide that the kills section needed to be removed?

 

We are not employed by IB. We do this voluntarily as you should already know.


Merlin- About the scammer/spammer thing, I was joking around with you.

 

There is still a kills section, holmes.

 

Ok, I understand the change is going to stay and stuff. So im not going to argue anymore,
but what if we do have a street racing kill?
Can we post it in the lounge?

and dont ******* flame, im just asking a question.

 

Please, post in the lounge, we need all the fodder we can get.

 

In just acceleration, sure you can beat supercars with a well built FD. Like I explained earlier though, this only further proves your ignorance of what sports cars are built to do. With that mentality you could instead buy a 5.0 Mustang and build that to beat supercars, go home and post kills about it and act like you've conquered the world. Hell, the person with the 5.0 could brag about beating an "overpriced" FD. As soon as the road curves though, it would be damn near impossible to build an FD to beat stock supercars while being just as reliable, comfortable, and street legal.

Once again, you are sadly mistaken if you think you need $100,000 to be able to race legally. At minimum all you need is a bone stock car that can pass safety inspection and less than $400 for one track day. Less after you are out of the novice class and no longer need an instructor. You don't need a truck, trailer, garage space, fuel cell or a roll cage. Drag racing or autocrossing is even cheaper at less than $50 for an event.

I will also disagree at street racing being the same thing as track racing, not even close. If you're into long stretches of highway, all it takes is that one speed trap or mechanical failure and its all over. This is assuming that you are REALLY racing (100mph+), not doing 0-80mph runs, or 2nd gear (40-90mph) runs because thats slow. Racing on deserted twisty roads is a little easier to get away with but all it takes is that one deer, or that one loose or worn out part, or inattentive driver crossing the double yellow and you're done. You will also usually be nervous around police and often be ticketed for equipment violations.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'll be alright, maybe you should instead take racing up as something more than just a hobby and you might understand why real car enthusiasts chose to do it legally. An English class would help too, with your punctuation and spelling errors and lack of comprehension. Re-read my post and you will understand that I have street raced and I wasn't speaking against it. All I was explaining was how dumb the threads in the kill section are and my inability to understand the hype behind beating someone in a race and telling everyone about it, like 'OMG I KILLED THIS CIVIC ON MY WAY HOME'.

At least 70% of the threads in kill section resemble the example I posted and thats exactly why I'm happy its pretty much gone.

 

lol

 

No, you can't post it in the lounge. Lounge is...the lounge. I don't want stories about some guy in an FC beating up on an Integra or a Mustang on the street. The lounge is already gay enough.

 

Come on, Justin. You know after like 15 minutes and being ridden everywhere he goes, he'd stop. After 30, he'd be begging for you to remove the post.

 

Haha, ok.

thanks for answering my question.

And wotnartd, whats your deal man.

i said i would quit bitching about the change in the kill section so lay off.

 

Sad panda.

 

How about we change it to the
"DAVE SEGALLA, GUITARJUNKIE memorial Legally Sanctioned Racing Kills Section" in memorial to Dave who was killed driving at high speed down public roads.

 

But sir, he wasn't racing anybody.

Except death.

My dad's brother died the same way (and took someone with him). So... I don't really speed too much, as a result of knowing first hand the damage it will do to your family some... 20 years later. Not everybody has the foresight to do it.

 

It would make flame wars, making us mods hand out warnings&infractions and then coming up to be bans. Then we would be labeled as ****'s. Wait, nevermind. That happens already.



Mark, I agree with that. Kills section, In memorial of Dave, R.I.P.

 

I think the rename would be good, too.
